NEW YORK (AP) Mo d'Amour rallied for a two-length victory Saturday in the $125,000 Busher Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Aqueduct.
The victory was worth 50 qualifying points for the Kentucky Oaks, the distaff companion event to the Kentucky Derby.
The win catapulted Mo d'Amour into a tie for second place on the leaderboard. The top 14 in the standings earn spots in the $1 million Oaks on May 6.
Owner Ed Stanco, who races as the King of Prussia Stable, also captured the 2013 Busher with Princess of Sylmar who later won the Oaks.
